mircea_popescu: kinda not so many options ; not like anyone'd pay to see 'em strip or anything.
asciilifeform: starvation would be a decent option.
mircea_popescu: sadly us opted out of starvation.
shinohai: Further lulz develop in the BU camp as nodes are crashing yet again: https://github.com/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimited/issues/386
asciilifeform: if dr.mengele were an american, he would probably have ended up... teaching medicine
mircea_popescu: not even street urchins starve these days.
asciilifeform: (if preet can teach law..!)
mircea_popescu: shinohai i'm sure they'll "professionally" "handle" etc.
asciilifeform: lol 'pruning or full?'
asciilifeform: 'No idea if I'm right but it looks like that just attacks pruned nodes.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yep, i expect that's exactly correct.
shinohai: "If you upgrade to trb, this has been fixed for ages" <<< /me wants to comment
mircea_popescu: lol.
mircea_popescu: so go right ahead.
ben_vulpes: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-teen-girl-missing-from-lawndale-20170321-story.html
shinohai: I'm blocked from commenting on Bitcoin Unlimited code :/
mircea_popescu: must be you weren't professional enough.
mircea_popescu: our democracy!1
ben_vulpes: i must be a bad person to even be thinking about the ethnicities involved
ben_vulpes: "The teen has disappeared once before but her mother says she was found later that day in a neighborhood park." heh
mircea_popescu: "with cum on her upper lip and 120 in loose bills."
mircea_popescu: i suppose i needn't point out the correct verbal tense'd have been "the teen HAD disappeared". no tense left behind!
ben_vulpes: life is complicated.
mircea_popescu: plus it keeps disappearing only to be found in a neighbourhood park.
shinohai: I suppose BU feels that tmsr members must secretly support the blockstream agenda as well.
asciilifeform: shinohai: fill me in re 'the blockstream agenda'
ben_vulpes: yeah what dat
asciilifeform: wtf is a blockstream
mircea_popescu: random usg "company" that's supposed to matter in the sense that idiots will pretend so.
shinohai: Blockstream is the company developing the "Lightning Network"
asciilifeform: this year's mtgox ?
mircea_popescu: typical campbell soup can strategy. "please agree usg matters through the avenue of agreeing it's either usg.corp1 or else usg.corp2 ! engage the controversy!"
ben_vulpes: is this another iceberg of dumb to ignore?
mircea_popescu: nah, not even.
ben_vulpes: icecube?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes entirely. at least back in the day they were coming up with "coinbase" they put some effort into it.
shinohai: https://blockstream.com/ <<< Leading developers of "Blokechain technologeeeees"
mircea_popescu: by now, entirely abstract paper tank divisions.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should say derisions.
mircea_popescu: to quote phf, http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-20#1629431 ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-20 15:46 phf: jeez, i like how they are not even trying. a bootstrap template one pager and a link to "bitcointalk thread"
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, remember the time when the fake "bitcoin foundation" was a thing ? noticed how it... sorta got dropped ? and nobody felt any strong compulsion to explain or inquire as to... why the fuck ? nor did this lack of intererst seemingly inform any self-examination along the lines of "if this thing could be dropped so easily, what consistency did it really have ???"
shinohai: Bruce Fenton still believes he can bring it back.
mircea_popescu: but whatever, next year it'll be tru.th or whatever $name-looking-for-something-to-be-the-name-of.
asciilifeform: https://bitcoinfoundation.org << their www still loads
mircea_popescu: shinohai yeah that's the lulziest part of these.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so does sex.com
asciilifeform: 'Board members include Brock Pierce, of Blockchain Capital (Board Chair), Bobby Lee, of BTCC (Board Vice Chair), Elizabeth McCauley of Coinsecure, Vinny Lingham of Civic, Michael Perklin of C4 and Francis Pouliot of Satoshi Portal.'
ben_vulpes: BROOOOOOCK
asciilifeform: lel, mr.pedo is still there
mircea_popescu: you're looking at a ~2015 item.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: from 'Bitcoin Foundation Appoints Llew Claasen as Executive Director Monday, June 20, 2016'
shinohai: I got into a 2-3 page lulzfest with Fenton abt Brock being a pedo, he defended him to the end
mircea_popescu: lel
shinohai: (on bitcointalk)
ben_vulpes: "fenton"?
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes wanna-be lawyer dork.
ben_vulpes: not even actually a lawyer?
asciilifeform: 'BlockOn Conference 2017 will feature 2 days of inspiring talks, new demos and interactive networking to more than 300 attendees from the Blockchain community.' << for a dead horse, it neighs pretty well
mircea_popescu: eh. half of argentina's a lawyer.
ben_vulpes: uno minimo respeto por los abogados or how did it go
mircea_popescu: over icecream i read in some fashion mag about this female imbecile that "closed a chapter in her life bla bla" and dedicated herself full time to her... interior decoration blog.
mircea_popescu: lawyer.
ben_vulpes: the place is like 2 decades behind even the states
ben_vulpes: eyeballs probably still pay!
mircea_popescu: eh get out.
mircea_popescu: if i went out with a wrench and threatened people to break their head unless they pay me 100 pesos i'd break all the heads
mircea_popescu: because nobody has a six dollar bill on them.
ben_vulpes: place is still lousy with advertising
mircea_popescu: they buy socks on layaway, you understand me ? 50yo dorks trying to look like uni professors, 500 colones worth of merchandise.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: americans also buy socks on layaway, it is simply structured differently.
mircea_popescu: you can't live off your "interior decoration blog" in the states.
mircea_popescu: and certainly all the "lawyers" that tried made a fine example of themselves.
asciilifeform: but in orcistan -- can?!
asciilifeform: how?
mircea_popescu: tucker max comes to mind, and there was the recent copycat we discussed.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no, that's my point, OUT OF THE FUYCKING QUESTION she can, or that any one who was actually a lawyer would even consider trying. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: the fact she says this proves she never was a lawyer, never could have been a lawyer.
mod6: I'll tell ya, I've never had much prior experience but... the american health care "system" is about as useless as rubber lips on a woodpecker.
mod6: Someday, I'll probably elaborate more. But wow, what a failure.
mircea_popescu: mod6 take a hint, go to mexico and pay cash.
mircea_popescu: or w/e, romania.
mod6: For sure. Anywhere has to be better than this hell hole.
mircea_popescu: by now the capital goods advantage isn't that marked for the us, and the injuns make barely ok doctors. you're better off with "3rd world".
mircea_popescu: i paid cash for, eg, computed tomography here. "immense sum" aka $450.
mircea_popescu: same day in the sense of, within an hour of walking in.
shinohai: Here, that'd be more to the tune of $45`000
mod6: shit, just about anything serious here will bankrupt the aveage johnny mcfucksticks.
mircea_popescu: irk ? and next day if you';re lucky.
shinohai: Plus extra for the specialist to interpret

mod6: You will find that The Bitcoin Foundation website has duly been updated as well as the TRB How-To Steps (nothing more has changed than the version number of the tarball to grab for V).
mircea_popescu: nice.
asciilifeform: neato mod6
mod6: Thanks. :]
asciilifeform: holy mother of fuck, asciilifeform sweated for 2 wks over nothing, turned out it was a bug in... gnat
asciilifeform: in gnatelim, of all things.
mircea_popescu: what was ?
asciilifeform: entirely inexplicable failure of any stream subclass whatsoever, from any example code whatsoever, to work.

shinohai: Now that mircea_popescu pointed out fangs in "The anti-woman" I see them everywhere http://archive.is/3Hujw
mircea_popescu: shinohai lol.
mircea_popescu: idiots.
mircea_popescu: “Seventeen years old is obviously older, but at the same time it doesn’t make anything right,”
mircea_popescu: what the fuck is wrong with these people ?
shinohai: To be fair, all her teeth are relatively straight, so a bit or two would be most welcome in certain circumstances.
shinohai: The creme de la creme though is ..... "Fowlkes taught anatomy, physiology ...."
shinohai: Anatomy indeed!
mircea_popescu: the notion that she's in a position of power over some male student is perhaps the lulziest bit in there.
mircea_popescu: wtf is she going to do, gossip ?
diana_coman: eh, give him a bad grade, "dent his self-esteem", "ruin his future" etc
mircea_popescu: yeah right. she can't do that.
diana_coman: yes, but at the same time she "can"
mircea_popescu: sounds like a bum deal to me.
shinohai: On paper anyway
diana_coman: tbh I have no idea why/how would someone go into teaching at this moment; my only hypothesis is that really, really, they have NO other option at all
mircea_popescu: "we pretend young women going out with young men is a big deal in order to thereby prop the nonsensical fiction that taking the absolute worst job there is somehow gives bordeline sleeves "power"."
diana_coman: but like at all
shinohai: Worked for Preeet eh
mircea_popescu: this prosecution is expected to produce a further 3k shoulda-been-a-stripper enrollments into teaching countrywide, and at least 50k more useless undergrads signing up for overpriced college tuition.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman no see, she wants to have power. because she doesn't. and if you go into teaching you have power, because that's why they keep prosecuting them.
mircea_popescu: it's ~same reason dumb pubescent girls went into "witching". siunce people burn witches, it's clearly JUST the thing for a lowly wench with no resources.
mircea_popescu: why do 30yos go around on the software adequate for the needs of a 14yo in 1817 is anyone's guess, but i suppose its proper name is progress.
diana_coman: ugh, I thought it was already more than obvious that no power at all,what with all the assorted "rights" and "child protection" and what nots
mircea_popescu: as always, the empire is consistent, in its batshit insane sort of logic.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman nothing's obvious to the powerless. this is a pleonasm.
diana_coman: that's precisely my point: I get it that some 20 years ago they went into teaching for this reason; meanwhile it's so constricted and day by day more so that ...
diana_coman: I guess so
mircea_popescu: obvious is ice to power's water.
diana_coman: makes sense, that

mircea_popescu: heck, the whole africa used phone market isn't there because THESE FUCKS EAT THE LEFTOVERS AS A DEFINITIONAL CHARACTERISTIC. but purely as a matter of choice.
asciilifeform: choice?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform recall the lulz about the expired windows on argentina's patriotic pride big screen next to the "national theatre" ?
asciilifeform: we have these here
asciilifeform: on ATMs, even
mircea_popescu: i'm sure.
asciilifeform: winblowz xp bsod on atm, does not even surprise anyone, any moar, afaik.
mircea_popescu: point being, by the time argentina heard of computers in 2010, windows 95 was just coming out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform wasn't bsod. was "this windows is anciend please sir."
asciilifeform: i did find myself wondering, what exactly microshit did to make sure that it in fact ended up happening in 'we heard of computer in 2010' planet.
asciilifeform: the argentines et al had a golden chance to not-have-microshit
asciilifeform: and fucked it.
mircea_popescu: there;s a reason rms spent his days shuttling from brazil to liberia or wherever the fuck "open source" was "really taking off" once open source was well and truly dead.
mircea_popescu: why did they think it's cool a half year after it was no longer worth the mention ?
mircea_popescu: why the fuck do they think dollars are an investment in 1995 ? it was a fucking investment in 1913, but back THEN they were buying austro-hungarian paper.
asciilifeform: it is entirely possible to be 'behind the times' in a non-retarded way, e.g. 'what ipad, i still have a working pdp11'
mircea_popescu: ipad is not the times.
asciilifeform: why they instead have win2k -- i cannot say
mircea_popescu: this is exactly the point, and i suspect the definitional characteristic of orcdom : the inability to distinguish science mag from cosmo. the failure to comprehend ipad is not nor can not be, no matter what happens, the times.
mircea_popescu: "but everyone uses it!" dun matter "but it's really cool!" dun matter "but i really like it!" you're an orc, do the opposite of your natural impulse because your natural impulse is made of shit. etc etc.
asciilifeform: it isn't clear to me that americans, in the general case, can distinguish cosmo from whatever.
mircea_popescu: and they're orcs these days.
mircea_popescu: shockley period americans didn't have much trouble distinguishing car from rickshaw.
mircea_popescu: "but everyone rickshaws!" not for long, bitches.
asciilifeform: funnily enough (at least to me) even the humble rickshaw was introduced by the white man
asciilifeform: ( prior -- oxcart, or legs, pick. )
mircea_popescu: aha. different period tho.
asciilifeform: yea
asciilifeform: incidentally.. there are pedal-powered rickshaws in washington. for ~decade nao.
asciilifeform: ~100% of the pedallers : white d00dz in their 20s, 'college victims'
mircea_popescu: i expect they're just trying to meet girls.
mircea_popescu: (there's a reason bar wenches were female, and the reason is, that originally it was a very reasonable way to get yourself mated.)
asciilifeform: from the position of a draft horse?!
mircea_popescu: why not ? submissive sex, gotta display, neh ?
asciilifeform: no i was speaking of the pedal folx
mircea_popescu: chick knows what she's buying and how much it costs, mebbe-mebbe.
mircea_popescu: yes.
phf: i know a guy who rickshaws (in new york, now in austin), and loved it for that very reason. i think he stopped because young girls don't typically get pedicab, mostly drunken old women who "grab his ass" etc.
mircea_popescu: so he turns around and "ass grabbing carries a twenny dollar fine m'am"
phf: he's not that smooth, though that would be a sop reaction in india
mircea_popescu: contrary to the common fantasy, most betas would actually be a lot fucking happier if they could live in out and out sexual slavery rather than the bs they're stuck with currently.
mircea_popescu: most "bad relationships" are exactly that. bitter moon (the film) if anyone saw that crap is best summarized as "two subbies arguing who should top that evening".
mircea_popescu: it gets pretty messy.
mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which common fantasy
mircea_popescu: head of household or w/e. independent agent at the least.
phf: guy connects to trilema from his android, gets banned, still doesn't reach out to anybody. "oh, i'm sorry, my bad, i will learn to wash ass", something
mircea_popescu: most of the tubes lead nowhere / most of the nerves aren't connected / most of the cables lay buried in a pile of mud.
mircea_popescu: postapocalyptica, yes ? "i wonder what this rope is connected to" "nothing."
mircea_popescu: 50-50 the "intelligent" app just connects him for good measure and behind the screen.
mircea_popescu: it's the I[di]OT way. browsers "prefetch" pages, on it goes.

mircea_popescu: the right question is, why doesn't twitter alter all its images on the fly to hit those hashes
mircea_popescu: and the answer is, because twitter is part of usg, not part of the internet.
ben_vulpes: bloat the "known hashes" db rightly.
ben_vulpes: oooh and make a bunch of work for 'ai' image recognition programmers
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik they use humans
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: at what point in the toolchain?
mircea_popescu: how exactly were some people capable of geting "hashes" of files they need some dork's password to decrypt ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when deciding what to plant on the 'criminal' comp, naturally
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: "decrypted mac pro but not external hdds"
mircea_popescu: ...

asciilifeform: that one time i sent a sample of boards to mircea_popescu , in 2014, was a real lulzfest

Framedragger: bots autoup folks there, use channel as funnel of good material into #trilema; or, bots calculate entropy of nicks outputting there, creating automatic pipeline.. horrible idea i know
phf: i'm not sure the idea is relevant, since you can just have an open channel for funneling already
phf: but it's not advertised anywhere. bulk of random strangers is going t come here
Framedragger: yeah sure
phf: also the whole "funnel of good material" was the original idea behind mp's "start your own channels"
ben_vulpes: i'll be surprised if new people are even welcome without immediately joining the wot and introducing themselves much after q3

deedbot: fd_travel voiced for 30 minutes.
fd_travel: good news, scriba et al.'s hosting provider is doing maintenance again, only this time it's scheduled (http://gedimai.iv.lt/?id=610)
fd_travel will change provider.
asciilifeform: kernel?!
asciilifeform: it's on a vps?!
ben_vulpes: such interrobang
fd_travel: yesyes. fwiw the ssh banner db is on dedicated server. i just have an old vps which has been doing just fine actually
fd_travel: for websites n' stuff. but need to move to normal box
fd_travel: hey to my knowledge quite a bit of tmsr infra is on vps :)
ben_vulpes: do you have a citation for that claim?
fd_travel: i recall checking deedbot's and a111's IPs (digitalocean etc), but hey, if it worx. ☟︎
fd_travel: that said, not the best of arguments.
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's www is on a vps, has been for decade+ , but it is not 'infrastructure'. )
fd_travel: (so, to be clear -- will move)
ben_vulpes: do has full boxes for rent
fd_travel: mk. (anyway, that was inane of me, need to move forward, not sideways)
fd_travel: ah hi scriba
ben_vulpes: don't they?
fd_travel: i wouldn't trust their virtualised 'dedicated box' offer to actually be dedicated but who knows
ben_vulpes: suppose not, color me wrong.
fd_travel has used DO before, does its job
asciilifeform: i am actually rather fond of my vps hoster, nfs co (discussed in the logs at least twice, one of which was the time mircea_popescu wrote to them 'why not bitcoin?' and they answered 'bitcoin is a snore', he then barfed)
asciilifeform: i pay couplea bux per mo for what is in effect five-nines uptime, and the closest thing i've ever seen to infinite ddos resistance
asciilifeform: and with 0 'cloudflare' or whatever other hipsterism.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: nfs does 'vps'?
asciilifeform: the minus is that it is (yes) in usa, and has very limited support for anything that isn't text www ☟︎
fd_travel: i wonder how they handle ddos. i mean, maybe your blog is just not baitsy enough :p
ben_vulpes: in other top lols, you can now have a "custom gender" in the google play store
ben_vulpes: my gender is now "Marquis"
asciilifeform: fd_travel: they have a strange and ancient setup, you use their nameserver, the boxes actually serving up your thing, vary, the ip is not static, quite eldritch
fd_travel: huh custom load balancing magic
asciilifeform: aha, and long before 'it was hip'
asciilifeform: they also claim that they have never dropped a paying account other than by court order , but i have no way of knowing if true.
asciilifeform: at any rate, for the price it is quite impossible to beat, i have nfi how they are able to supply this kind of service, at that price.
fd_travel: yeah i liked quite a few things about them when i spotted them long ago, micro-precision accounting, etc.
asciilifeform: aha, pay per byte.
asciilifeform: (they also have a thing, iirc, where you can buy 'buckets' of bandwidth, for use in case of elaborate ddos, but i have not tried it)
asciilifeform: the unfortunate thing is that nfs co. is quite useless for most of the purposes of most folx here.
asciilifeform: no persistent unix processes permitted.
Framedragger: (scriba failing to self-up - checking)
Framedragger: (*ah*, that separate "UP" in deedbot's msg)
asciilifeform: also ben_vulpes may be right, i do not know if the proper name for what nfs co does is 'vps'.
asciilifeform: it is more barbaric, even, than vps.
ben_vulpes: shared hosting, traditionally, no? but what else is a vps but shared hosting
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is closer to vps, actually, you get an ssh login and a thing that superficially resembles an actual linux box from inside said ssh
asciilifeform: (rather than a proprietary crapolade uploader, or ftp, as typical in ye olde 'shared host')
asciilifeform: but of course it is emulated, and is expected to not hog the cpu.
ben_vulpes: wacky
ben_vulpes: i don't want to think about that
asciilifeform: afaik unique.
ben_vulpes: possibly lxc-alike per ssh conn?
asciilifeform: i do not in fact know the exact mechanism.
asciilifeform: whatever it is, had to have been around in '07.
asciilifeform: and earlier.
asciilifeform: for all i know, they wrote from scratch.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you get a postgres process tho. by ticking a box in the www acct panel; it then magically appears in your pseudolinux.
Framedragger: (k fixd)
Framedragger: asciilifeform: pretty nifty!
asciilifeform: Framedragger: it suffers -- besides the obvious minuses described earlier -- from the martian problem. i.e. if it ever dies, there is no ready replacement
asciilifeform: wholly custom, made by perhaps long-dead gnomes.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: whoa a whole process? not a connection?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: we are speaking of simulacra. i have nfi if it is physically a 'whole' process.
asciilifeform: certainly nobody ought to suffer any delusion of crypto-isolation, when buying vpsolade.
ben_vulpes: spooky
asciilifeform: the thing is hyper-optimized for hosting well-ddosed blogs. and specifically ones running on 1990s-style software, where the cpu is idle except when somebody is actually loading a page. but other than that imposes no restrictions on proggies you run, last i saw you even had gcc in there, could build own, run.
asciilifeform: i set up a lisp in there once, even (i forget which, may have been clisp) but it was a pain, whole process had to be born when page is loaded, and promptly die
mircea_popescu: in other news, mp takes girl to picnic at neighbourhood park, she goes naked, within 15 minutes there's half a dozen local cops around the blanket being all concerned. ☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: is that even a ticketable offense in mircea_popesculandia ?
asciilifeform: ( in usa it is just short of armed robbery , afaik, though ianal )
mircea_popescu: i didn't get a ticket for it.
mircea_popescu: but apparently TEH WOMEN complained.
asciilifeform: who ELSE could've possibly complained lel
mircea_popescu: anyway, to my eye the amusing thing is that if you get a nude hottie out in the open, what'll happen is the half dozen boys that'll dare approach will a) be symbolically protected by their magical uniform garb and b) ask for the perturbation in the force be removed OH PLEASE GOD MAKE IT GO AWAY.
mircea_popescu: somewhat at odds with the public imagination of you know, gangrape-till-daybreak (if imaginer is female) or else "they'll start zombieing around with beers, eventually some dude will try to make money renting folding chairs, that sorta thing".
mircea_popescu: anyway, it was lulzy, "let's see your papers" "well i don't carry them" "why not ?" "the embassy told me not to because i'll get robbed." "oh".
mircea_popescu: apparently they're very enamoured with the idea that you get robbed here. nfi why. i guess it keeps them in jobs.
asciilifeform: here in northern monkeystan 'no papers' is a guaranteed trip to the station.
mircea_popescu: i suspect everyone in the field just HAD to come over to see this wonder. i'm guessing they literally never heard of such before.
mircea_popescu: anyway. sarge explained to me that it's not done here. and also wanted to know if i "consume"
mircea_popescu: which i deduce is their slang for smoking pot.
mircea_popescu: because, he points out, also not to be done in public.
ben_vulpes: what, he wasn't going to offer you one for the privilege of staring at your babe?
mircea_popescu: i think he was married. there was a very hot and bothared youth. he made it first.
mircea_popescu: i imagine he ran. also i don't imagine he got any this year.
mircea_popescu: "omg she was completely naked!!1"
mircea_popescu: was trying to get phones from the people around "for evidence".
asciilifeform: waiwat
asciilifeform: how would that work
mircea_popescu: i have nfi. he never heard of tumblr i guess ?
diana_coman: that sounds close enough/toward the "make money renting folding chairs" though, doesn't it?
diana_coman: the"evidence"
asciilifeform: presumption being that they took photos, of the 'crime scene'..?
mircea_popescu: yep, quite exactly diana_coman
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well... considering what's on youtube, i wouldn't be surprised if they had.
diana_coman: so perhaps not that much at odds after all; re the female imagined part, I suspect that has more to do with fact that ... "what'll happen" depends on who gets her out
mircea_popescu: eh. no way in fuck anyone walks up to a naked woman and talks to her.
mircea_popescu: they can't do it even when dressed.
diana_coman: what, no "gipsy" anywhere?

ben_vulpes: as if the plane weren't stupidly complex enough already, let's bolt another pile of heinous complexity to it as well
asciilifeform had a water-cooled box, with around six litres, for some years. (it ~did~ eventually leak.)
ben_vulpes: it is unavoidable!
ben_vulpes: helicopters are also unconscionably complex devices
asciilifeform: i could picture a water-cooled thing with a very short loop, and good seals (i.e. no expectation of ever being able to disassemble it: welded copper pipes, like your fridge) not leaking.
asciilifeform: at least for few decades.
ben_vulpes: may as well immerse in mineral oil at that point.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc we had this thread

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes, pete_dushenski , trinque , et al : here's a top from asciilifeform's house of horrors : don't bother selective-booting the things. just yank the drive and put what you want on it ~directly~, then put back.
asciilifeform: i don't recall ever installing gentoo, for instance, any other way
asciilifeform: *a tip from
pete_dushenski: myea, that's next step for sure. was trying to configure dual boot for no other reason than that i like the idea of 10.4 in the house. but that's probably a lost cause. there's only so much time to dump into the sinkhole.
asciilifeform: if the box eats reasonably ordinary (e.g. sata) disks, rather than, say, differential scsi (sgi, sun) or archaic ???s (symbolics 36xx, others) -- even easier.
